LETTER FROM YOUR EDITOR AND PUBLISHER 


We at SUM Magazine would like to thank all of you for the 
Support you have shown over the past years. The activity in the 
Sinclair/Timex market seems to be ever growing, and it is 
exciting to see so many of you sticking with what many people 
consider to be a “dead” computer. This tells you something about 
the “power” of our computers that others just don't see! 


Richard and I have found that you can't take the work that 
goes into this magazine lightly. What used to be just a simple. 
part-time job has grown into one that requires full time 
attention. In the mean- time, both Richard and I have taken on 
more and more responsibility in our full- time jobs and are 
finding it more and more difficult to find the time that it 
takes to bring you the quality magazine that you have come to 
expect. 


With this in mind, we have worked out an agreement with Time 
Designs Magazine where we will "merge" with them to bring you 
the largest and most comprehensive magazine in the U.S. 
Sinclair/Timex market. We, along with the staff of TDM will 
continue to bring you the quality reading you have come to 
expect. The July issue will be the last issue put out by SUM 
Magazine. 


Time Designs Magazine will cover all subscriptions on through 
to their expiration date. Those who have a subscription to both 
SUM and TDM will have their subscription extended by the amount 
of time they have left with SUM. So you will have uninterrupted 
service of the best resource for your computer around. 


Time Designs Magazine is dedicated to the Sinclair/Timex 
market with coverage on all Sinclair/Timex computers and they 
are continually expanding. They have top notch writers like Wes 
Brzozowski, Bob Orrfelt, and Michael Carver and publishing is 
their only business. 


Tim Woods, the editor, along with his wife, Stephanie, the 
assistant editor, are looking forward to bringing you the best 


in news, articles, programs, projects, and advertisements 
available. 


Richard and I are sorry that we had to come to this decision, 
but we both feel that it is the best for everyone involved and 
we hope that you will understand and Support our endeavor to 
serve you best. 


Thank you, 
Joe Williamson 
Richard Cravy 


P.S. Congratulations To Tim and Stephanie 
on the birth of their son, Timothy Dean 
Woods, born on June 10th at a healthy 
eight pounds! 











MACHINE CODE TUTOR: A Comprehensive Review 


MACHINE CODE TUTOR for the 
program on two cassettes and 
35 lessons. The advertising states 33 
lessons. Most of the lessons have 
demonstration and examples following them. 
The 34th just explains the interrupts and 
the 35th is just a sign off message. 


2068 is a 
consists of 


After the program/simulator section is 
loaded, a prompt appears on the bottom of 
the screen asking you to choose whether or 
not to load lessons. You are not allowed 
to specify what lessons although the 24 
page manual supplied gives you that 
impression. The lessons are broken up into 
four groups (lessons 1 to 9, lessons 10 to 
17, lessons 18 to 25, and lessons 26 to 
be 


When a group of lessons has been loaded 
in, a menu page appears on the. screen 
after the introduction. A prompt now asks 
that if you want to run _ the line 
highlighted, to press ENTER and if you 
want to select another lesson, to press 
SPACE. 


If you choose to run the lesson, text 
appears on the screen explaining the Z80 
commands the lesson is about. This may be 
a number of pages, after which, the menu 
returns to the screen with the next line 
highlighted. If that line is an example 
line and you key ENTER, you may get 
further text on the commands followed by a 
listing of the commands. That is followed 
by a screen containing an assembled 
program for demonstration. 


Each line is arranged from left to 
right with the address in decimal, the 
contents of that address plus the contents 
of the following addresses that are tied 
in with that addresses' contents, a label 
if one has been specified, and then the 
mnemonics. 


The bottom of the screen displays the 
contents of the four flags, stack, and the 
registers. Only the registers needed for 
the program are displayed. 


When you choose to run _ the program 
listed by keying R(un), the top line of 
the program is highlighted and an 
explanation of what is to be done by that 








group buy. When I asked the sales rep 
about comparisons between four types of 
tape, she sent a sample of each for me to 
try. . 

A test was run in this manner: using 
the Tasword II word processor program, I 
wrote a short article and SAVEd it to each 
cassette, one after the other..Next, I 
Cleared the text from memory, set the 
volume control arbitrarily at "7" and was 
unsuccessful in LOADing the text from a 
BASF LHD cassette. Undaunted, I reset it 
at "8" and got a good LOAD. This means 
that I only needed 80% of the volume 
compared to any previous LOAD! Well, if 
the BASF was that good, what would the 
Magnetite 12 do for me? Since the text was 


already SAVEd, I set the volume control to 


"7" once again, cleared the text, and 
LOADed. It worked. Try "6", It worked, 
too! And with the Ampex 615/616 and Agfa 
611/811 tapes could LOAD safely at "5" -- 
50% of the volume required before the 
test! | | 

No $12 amplifier, no $20 Winky Board, 
nothing more than more sensitive tape. Not 
only that, but the Agfa 615/616 C-10 tape 
cost only 34.9 cents per cassette when 
bought ina lot of 100, even less in 
greater quantities. 

This is an unsolicited testimonial, not 
an advertisement. User groups Or 
individuals who would like to get in on a 
good thing should call Polyline 
Corportation at 312/298-5300 or 
312/297-0955 and ask for a free catalog 
#85P1. The rest is up to you.

program. Anything outside of this will 
give an error statement. Even if you write 
a program into the assembler, there is no 
way Co save it or get a printout of it. 


Although the title screen calls it THE 
COMPLETE MACHINE CODE TUTOR, I do not 
consider it a complete tutor. I did leam 
to do various things with the display and 
attribute file. I also got the idea of how 
the computer prints characters to the 
Screen, but I did not learn how +t 
Searches for a character keyed in. 


By the way, the cassettes they send you 
do not have the tabs broken out so there 
is a great possibility that you could 
erase the whole cassette if you press. the 
record button when you start to play the 
tape.

Review: GHOSTBUSTERS! 


Quick...what do you get when you match 
the most profitable comedy movie ever 
(over $200 million) with the programming 


genius of David Crane (PITFALL, KABOOM! 
and more)? 
Times up..."who 'ya gonna. call?... 


GHOSTBUSTERS!" 


Yes, those people at ACTIVISION have 
freed the "slimers", and its your job to 
rid Gotham City of the spooks, and 
accumulate as much money as possible. All 
while you attempt to keep the Keymaster 
and the Gatekeeper from meeting at the 
Temple of Zuul. Sounds easy, doesn't it? 


I had seen, and played, GHOSTBUSTERS in 
its Commodore version before receiving the 
Spectrum tape. This made me very anxious 
to see if the game had lost anything in 
translation. 





I was not disapointed. The graphics are 
excellent...almost identical to the 
Commodore version. The voice synthesis was 
there too. From "He slimmed me!" to the 


ghostly laugh the conversion had lost 


nothing. 


The only shortcoming was the music. But 
remember, this is a Spectrum program, and 
the Spectrum has only one sound channel. 
Had this program been written for the 
2068, I know the music would have matched 
Or exceeded the Commodore version. 


To Ssynopsize, the object of 
GHOSTBUSTERS is this: You are given a $10, 
000 loan from the bank to open a Ghost- 
busters franchise. You select the vehicle 
and other various equipment you need to 
patrol the streets of the city, and clean 
up the spectres (Spectrum spectres?!7?). 


Now for some great news...GHOSTBUSTERS 
will run on the 2068 without a Spectrum 
ROM! Once loaded, GHOSTBUSTERS displays a 
menu from which the proper joystick inter- 
face/keyboard input is selected. If you 
Select the keyboard, the game will run 
perfectly on the 2068. Of course, if you 
do have a ROM, and a Russell Gamesmate 
interface, the game is even more exciting! 


I give GHOSTBUSTERS high marks on all 
criteria: Concept, Design, Content, and 
Execution (sounds like the Olympics, 
doesn't it?). 


GHOSTBUSTERS is great! If you liked the 
movie, you'll LOVE the game! Available

HARDWARE PROJECT: EPROM Programmer Yow can Build! 


The cartridge dock of the 2068 was 
Supposed to open up a whole new dimension 
in instant loading software when Timex 
introduced it oh so long ago. There were 
very few cartridges available and what was 


wasn't worth it. Then came along Doug 
Dewey's Spectrum emulator which made 
excellent use of it. Now more recently, 


OS-64 from Zebra demonstrates another good 
example. 


The cartridge dock supports LROS 
(Language ROM Oriented Software) and AROS 
(Application ROM Oriented Software). The 
Spectrum emulator and OS-64 are both good 
examples of LROS and all the programs such 
as those put out by Timex, Sunset 
Electronics, and Tom Woods' ProFile on 
cartridge are all good examples of AROS. 


With this EPROM programmer, you can 
develop your own LROS and AROS Cartridges. 
The EPROMs will plug into Doug Dewey's EMU 
series, Sunset's EPROM boards, and Foote 
Software's Printer interface EPROM socket. 


The programmer will program 2764 (8Kx8) 
and 27128 (16Kx8) EPROMs and with some 
Slight modification, will program the 
2716, 2732, and the 27256 EPROMs. The 2068 
and Spectrum ROMs are the 27128 
configuration and the 2068 extension ROM 
is configured as a 2764. 


You need to use 250 or 300nS type 
EPROMs which are designated as 27128-25 or 
27128-3. This is the highest speed at 
which they will operate and must be able 
Co operate faster than the 2068 will 
access them so they can keep up! 


To program these particular EPROMs, you 
need a 21 volt programming voltage. The 
2068's power supply is rated at 15 volts 
with a one amp load. With nothing 
connected, it measures 22-23 volts. With 
it loaded down by a 2068 and a printer 
interface, disk drive and this interface, 
it measures between 20 and 20.5 volts. I 
have been using this voltage to program 
EPROMs and have had no trouble. 


I checked a number of 2068s _ and power 
Supplies to see if these findings were 
consistent, they were, so the 2068's power 


supply should work well for you too. If 
for some reason it does not, the TS2040's 
power supply and a regulator circuit will 
work fine. 

Programming the EPROM is a fairly 
Simple task of providing the 21 volt pro- 
gramming voltage, setting the address 
lines to the desired address you wish to 
program data to, placing data on the data 


lines and then making the program line go 
low for about 50 mS (1/20 sec). 


With this interface, you can set the 
starting address of the EPROM where you 
want the programming to begin, set the 
Starting address in the computer's memory 
you wish to program from and set the 
number of locations you wish to program. A 
very simple system that will allow you to 
use this interface with any Sinclair 
computer or other computers for’ that 
matter as long as the correct programming 
voltage is supplied to the EPROM. 


The heart of the programmer is the 
decoder which creates the ports from which 
control to different parts of the program— 
mer are obtained. I chose a 74LS138 3 to 8 
line decoder which I used to fully decode 
I/O ports 0-7. Not all the ports are 
needed, so a few can be used for another 
project later. I chose the following ports 
for this project: 


PORT 0: READ EPROM 

PORT 2: LOW BYTE ADDRESS 
PORT 3: HIGH BYTE ADDRESS 
PORT 4: PROGRAM EPROM 

PORT 5: INCREMENT ADDRESS . 


: 


Because we are programming a 14 bit 
EPROM from an 8 bit source, we must load 
the EPROM starting address in two steps. 


First the lower 8 bits and then the upper 
6 bits. If we want to start at say address 
10,000 decimal (2710 hex), we need to load 
the high byte as OUT 3,39 (27h) and the 
low byte as OUT 2,16 (10h). How do we come 
up with those numbers? 
INT(10,000/256)=39 §& Low byte = 
10,000-256*INT(10,000/256)=16. You can 
convert these numbers to hex by looking in 
appendix B on page 239 in the 2068 User's 
manual. | 





High byte = 


From the schematic, we can _ see _ that 
these low and high bytes are loaded into 
74LS193 presettable counters which can 
then be incremented by sending an OUT 
command to port 5. Port 0 is used with the 
IN command to read the EPROM and port 4 is 
used with the OUT command to write data to 
the specified address. 


The 74LS245 (a) is used primarily as a 
buffer to keep from loading down the data 
buss of the 2068. The 74LS245 (b) is used 
to isolate latched program data from the 
buss. The 74LS374 is used to latch or hold 
data to be programmed. The 74LS221 is used 
as a pulse generator to give the 50 mSec 
pulse needed by the EPROM during 
programming. The 74LS27 and 74LS0O8 are 
used in conjunction with the 74LS138 to 
give full decoding of the I/O ports. 


The programming voltage from the 2068 
goes through a resistor and 22 volt zener 


diode to help protect both the 2068 and 


EPROM. A 0.1 microFarad tantalum capacitor 
helps cut down on transient voltages and 
five volts feeds the line through a diode 
so that the EPROM can be read when not in 
.the program mode. I tried lowering the 
program voltage some to see how much 
effect it would have and found that I 
could go as low as 18 volts and still have 
reliable programming. This may vary from 
manufacturer to manufacturer though. I 
have been using Hitachi # HN4827128G-25. 


The Zebra Systems Protocard makes an 
excellent board to mount this project on. 
I used a proto board to develop the 
programmer and later transfered it to a 
Protocard. Keep the leads as _ short as 
possible when wiring the circuit and be 
carefull not to cause any shorts, solder 
bridges, frayed wires, etc. Remember, this 
project deals with the data and address 
buss of the computer and mistakes can 
easily ruin the computer.

To program the 2716, you need a 25 volt 
power supply and to program the 27256, you 
need 12.5 volts. Here is a wiring diagram 
to use the TS 2040 printer power supply or 
any 25 volt secondary transformer for the 
programming supply. 


The 2716 and 2732 EPROMs are in a 24 
pin package with pins 1-12 & 13-24 
corresponding to pins 3-14 & 15-26 of a 28 
pin package. The Vcc is moved from pin 28 
to 24. All the pins remain pretty much the 
Same except for the highest address line 
and PGM which move some from EPROM to 
EPROM depending on its size. These changes 
can be realized by using wire jumpers or 
switches. 


Because the 2068 uses ROMs, some of: the 
pins are slightly different. To use an 
EPROM in place of the ROM, pins 1 & 27 of 
the EPROM need to be bent upward (away 
from socket) and connected together and 
connected to pin 28 so that they are all 
connected to Vec (5 volts). 


Once you have completed the interface, 
you need to learn how to get the most from 
it. There are some good books and programs 
out there that would be most helpful with 
this programmer. For machine code writing 
and de-bugging, Hot-Z by Ray Kingsley, PO 
Box 8032, Santa FE, NM 87504 is a must. It 
is available on tape or cartridge. Sunset 
Electronics is selling a 2068 ROM 
disassembly manual which also covers 
programming your own EPROMs, and John 
Oliger also has plans and complete EPROM 
programers also. His address is: 11601 
Whidbey dr, Cumberland IN 46229. 


Here is a simple little BASIC program 
to program the 2764 and 27128 EPROMs with 
the 2068. Next time I will show you how to 
use this interface with the TS 1000/1500. 
Also, I'll discuss correcting some of the 
bugs in the 2068 home ROM, and

In your article “Reviewing Two 
Printers", SUM April '86, you asked for 
information on the serial port of the 


Zebra Disk Drive after refering to TASWORD 
II output to that RS-232 serial port. 


I have been using that port since last

Tape Backup 


Here is a program from Larry Kenny of 


Larken Electronics to backup any 2068 
program. The program requires two tape 
recorders, one to play the tape, and one 


to record the program. The program can be 
located anywhere in free memory. Follow 
the instructions as given in the program. 
Once the code is set, it can be SAVEd and 


Radio Shack serial printer. The "key" was LOADed separatly and called by RAND USR x, 
the “Interface Control Codes" as accessed where x is the starting point of the code. 
from TASWORD II program menu: Here is the machine code listing: 
Interface control Code 1 = 0 0010 ORG 60000 
Code 2 = 0 0020 ENT 
Code 3 = 0 0030 start IN A, 254 
Code 4 = 57855 0040 RRA 
0050 RRA 
The codes will get one off and running 0060 RRA 
assuming the correct formatting of CHANNEL 0070 JR NC,exit 
A is accomplished to agree with whatever 0080 BIT 3,A 
printer is being used and the TOS LPRINT 0090 JR Z,zero 
CODE has also been loaded. I would suggest 0100 OR 4 
an insert to line 15 of TASWORD II. After 0110 zero OUT 254,A 
the command LOAD *"“tasword.cod"CODE: add 0120 JR start 
this or similar commands pertaining to 0130 exit EI
